It was all a little too much for Trent Alexander-Arnold to watch as Liverpool's Premier League title hopes went up in flames after losing Wednesday's Merseyside derby 2-0 against Everton.
The Goodison Park hosts put further space between themselves and the league's relegation zone while simultaneously dealing a near-fatal blow to Liverpool's title chase by winning the encounter.
Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gifted the blue half of Merseyside bragging rights as Liverpool fell far below their usual standards under Jurgen Klopp this season.
Mohamed Salah endured one of his most ineffective games in recent memory as Liverpool's defence similarly struggled to deal with Everton's direct attacking threat.
Alexander-Arnold was part of a defence that crumbled to two avoidable goals and couldn't bare to continue watching after being replaced by Joe Gomez in the 84th minute.

Tempers became heated as Liverpool's title ambitions were derailed by Everton
The Liverpool vice-captain looked miserable as in the dugout as reality sat in and looked up to the sky in anguish as his team-mates failed to find a way back into the game.
Alexander-Arnold appeared to be struggling to comprehend Liverpool's chances of winning the Premier League being taken out of their control and hid away from public view by hiding underneath his training top.
He then dropped his head into his hands while other Liverpool stars sat alongside him nervously watching Liverpool's last-ditch attempts against Everton continue to fail.

The 25-year-old has endured a frustrating personal season that has seen him star in important games but also be hampered by tricky injuries at times in the season.
Academy graduate Conor Bradley has largely deputised for Alexander-Arnold at times, but the more experienced star was thrust back into Klopp's starting team once fit again.
Defeat against Everton leaves the Reds three points adrift of Premier League leaders, Arsenal, and only one above Manchester City who still have a game in-hand.
Wednesday's slip-up continued what has been a difficult month for Klopp and his Liverpool squad who have been knocked out of the Europa League and had their Premier League chase derailed in recent games.
